' Burners at a Distance by Means of Electricity, (for-which I have obtained a patent in France,

- dated February 25, 1896, No. 254,245, and in, lo Germany, dated March 31, 1'896, N'o. 94,084,) ot which the following is a specification;

This invention relates to improvements in controlling'apparatus for gas-burners at a distance; and it consists'ofielectrioal means 1' for freeing, lightin g,'andi extinguishing such bnrnem; z;r v n 'My invention has' for its object to provide an apparatus of the greatest simplicity, produc-'- ing'atthe time of freeing or opening-of the so burner the lighting'of the. same, and-it also prevents all'outward escape of gas during the zshuttingoff-orelosing of theburner. j ---II 1 this apparatus-I nsean assistant lighting tuhe working in combination withaplati- .25 num wire or lighter, and. one of -its'character'-- isticsl consists of abalI-valve formed of a; sphere, which is causedto pass alternately from the admission-inlet of the gas to the exit leading the gas to the self-lighter. 6 For a fuller explanation of my invention I refer in the following description to the annexed drawings; on which I v Figure 1 is a ver foalsectidn of a self-lighting gas device'constrncted according'to' my 5 invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section-on line 2 f; Fig. 1, Fig. 3 .is another horizon tal section on line 33 of the first figure. Fig."

4 is another vertical section made at right. angles to that of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 isa modifio cation of one of the portions of the apparatus shown on Figs. 1 to 4; Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the arrangement (if the self-lighting device in an electrical circuit obtained, for example, from an electrical battery. Figs. 7 and 8 are diagrams explanatory of the working of the apparatus.

The apparatus shown by Figs. 1 'to 4 con'-- 'si'sts of a closed chamber A, communicating in one direction by means of a tube awith anysuitable service-pipe B and in the oppo- 1 site direction with any suitable gas-burner C by a channel a.. In this chamber is a cap. I),

which can jfall either into the'seatcat the end of the tube a to close-the] same or into are- .approaching the burner 0 almost at the same level. Above the-upper openingorthe outsaidtube g'in a metallic sheath or'casing i,

above the openingcf the tube '9 and the platinam' wire. dt. to :form around them asort'cf protective chamber, closed, except at the top,-

to keep the platinum wire from burning in contact with the air. 1 The movements of nets D and E, arranged in such a manner-that their respective cores project into the interior of the. closed chamber A and are more or less in line with the seat 0' and the reeesscf. The one, B, when magnetized is-intendedto draw the ball-valve b toward the recess j'c', while the other,-when magnetized, attracts thesaid electromagnets or bobbins Dand-E are'prefsioninlejta, and between them-are the d-ifier: .ent. terminals, &c.,' necessary to the joining .These joints are indicatedbythe diagram 'Fig.6.:"

The wire I the-source of'electricity, extends-to the bobbin D, passing the terminal'l, on which bobbin it is wound. Thence'- it is connected at The wire k, leadin g from the opposite pole, is connected atm to the wire h of the platinum a given part '11. of the wire it] another wire 0 branches 01f, leading to and being wound 'aroundbobbimEand connected at n to the 'wire it.
